I'm continuing the trip through the Chamber with the same theme as my first entry, the pain of supporting a lower league football club.
Having been tied to the seat so you can't leave before the final whistle, you are destined to be tortured by the "football" for 90 minutes. The sparks will fly and your brain will be fried as your favourite football team with a 25,000 all seated stadium loose 3 nil to some nowhere town, usually housing a major railway junction, who have brought less fans than you have catering staff.
The figure comes from the same source as my previous entry, the Malifaux Jack Daw Crew set. I love the figures for this game, they are great. Its well outside my comfort zone, but great fun. The fig is 28mm so that 5 points for the fig and 20 for the room. There are another 4 figs in the box to fit into the chamber, sure I can manage 😉
Next up 1st unit of Hastati.
'The Mercy Seat' Superb Ken! I love it, especially the arching electricity and the team jersey. A real fan here...
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Curt, its always fun in the challenge to step outside my usual historical fare
DeleteGreat figure, I specially like the electric effects!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander, they came out reet nice 👍
DeleteCracking, the pain is all too real
ReplyDeleteThank you Martin, I knew you would understand 😄
DeleteExcellent entry! He looks like he's having fun!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Electricity makes your muscles tense, hence the 😃
DeleteYou know no one is forcing you to watch these games...
ReplyDeleteGreat figure Ken, I am enjoying this project. It’s amazing how each unsuccessful sports team finds its own way to fail. I spent my formative years rooting for Boston Bruin and Red Sox teams that some how managed to be the second best team in their league on a regular basis, but always falling short of number one.
Thanks Peter, Once you've spent money on a season ticket you have to go as you've spent your brass. Forgetting to buy a Season Ticket is where I fall down 😂
DeleteThis is brilliant, Ken!! There is a terrifying level of torture suffered by the fans of Bradford City.... or Hull City (yeah, yeah, you can stop laughing now!!). Great work, Sir!
ReplyDeleteHull ! My condolences Sidney
DeleteHe doesn't even get the dignity of having a bag placed over his head. Great work!
ReplyDeleteCheers, anyone can do the electrocution, very few can watch the football 😀
DeleteThe electricity looks, well - electric! Nice job - you can't tell it's not in your comfort zone. And sorry to hear about Bradford City.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, it was fun doing the electrics 👍
DeleteFor a poor football team, they are certainly inspiring your painting for this challenge. Excellent work.
ReplyDelete😀out of pain and adversity comes creativity 😉
DeleteBrilliant! I have a mate who supports WBA and he's feeling like this right now.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mills, good to see you back. West Brom, Premier League them boys, they'll have hot water in the toilets 😀
DeleteBolton. I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteOh...thats not good they are swimming in the same little pond we are
DeleteKen does keep torturing himself with these lovely reminders of his misery ;)
ReplyDeleteAvoiding Field Mill home games myself when I get back - only three home wins in the last 12 months!
Keeps me on the straight and narrow mate 🤣
DeleteThe beautiful game.
ReplyDelete🤣😄😂 that aspect bypassed Bradford
DeleteCracking entry! Luckily, chances of a 25,000 stadium filled at maximum capacity are rather slim at present. Stll, a great figure and a great take on the theme!
